First poster for Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie

Here’s the first poster for Tim Burton’s upcoming Frankenweenie, featuring a scarred Frankentein’s Monster-esque dog hiding behind a grave. The stop motion movie is about “Frankenweenie’s” owner, a young boy who loses his beloved pet dog and decides to use science to bring him back to life.

Frankenweenie looks like your typical Burton fare, which is to say fun, sinister and stylish. Stop-motion pictures are always admirable if only for the work that goes into them, and from the looks of it, Frankenweenie will probably be at least a delight to look at. Frankenweenie opens in theaters this October.
